SYNONYMS
gopinatha—Lord Gopinatha; amara—My; se—that; eka-i—one; aniga—body;
haya—is; inhake—unto Him; candana dile—in offering this candana; habe—
there will be; mora—My; tdpa-ksaya—reduction of temperature.

TRANSLATION
“There is no difference between My body and Gopinatha’s body. They are
one and the same. Therefore if you smear the sandalwood pulp on the body of
Gopinatha, you will naturally also smear it on My body. Thus the temperature
of My body will be reduced.
PURPORT
Gop§la was situated in Vrndavana, which was far from Remuna. In those days,
one had to pass through provinces governed by the Mohammedans, who some-
times hindered travelers. Considering the trouble of His devotee, Lord Gopala, the
greatest well-wisher of His devotees, ordered Madhavendra Puri to smear the san-
dalwood pulp on the body of Gopinatha, which was nondifferent from the body
of Gopala. In this way the Lord relieved Madhavendra Puri from trouble and in-
convenience.
